About Mini-Grants

Funding for the RSCAP program is allocated annually to each CSU campus by the State Legislature. The intent of the legislation is to assist faculty in their efforts to remain current in their disciplines, pursue new ways to enrich student learning, and contribute to knowledge that will strengthen California socially, culturally, and economically. The legislative guidelines also emphasize the importance of encouraging and supporting untenured faculty.

Additional funding for Mini-Grants cycle is provided by the Instructionally Related Activities Program (IRA) for RSCAP Student Assistant Supplements. These supplements, funded by student fees administered by the Fee Advisory Committee, are available specifically for the purpose of involving paid Student Assistants in Mini-Grant projects.

The Faculty Subcommittee on Sponsored Programs (FSSP) evaluates Mini-Grant proposals and makes funding recommendations to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs.
